If we could fix the issue with non working Google Wallet/Google Pay, that would be great.
But it is also worrying that there there seems to be only Apple and Google Pay in Europe - no alternative solution for wireless paying.
Other than that, Lineage OS on my 9T feels great. Battery life got almost doubled and it feels great to use a device with all current security patched installed. Next step would be to use a completely degoogled version with only FOSS software installed - just for some app there are no real alternatives available: Banking app, Fitness watch app, Carsharing app etc
Check out Gadgetbridge!
Ironically, I always end up rooting lineage just to pass the security checks to make Google pay work. Smooth one Google
Check out /e/os, the only problem I found is it is more difficult to interact with some google services and others are not supported but you can always use a browser to access them
magisk delta + play integrity fix has worked well for me. using google wallet without an issue
I'm able to use Google Wallet on my Pixel 7 Pro with root and LineageOS on it
What even is the purpose of Google Pay? I don't know anyone who actually uses it but some people act like its a necessity? We have cards that you can just tap these days. Isnt that making Google and Apple Pay useless?
The point is not needing your card. Where I'm from using apple/google/Samsung pay is very popular. Many young people don't even regularly carry their wallet.
It allows you to pay with your phone? I don't even carry a wallet around anymore, just my phone.
I don't know where you're from, but in the UK it's pretty common to pay with Google Pay or Apple Pay. Even had the advantage of allowing you to pay a higher amount than you could with a contactless card.
There's Bitcoin and lightning network :)
You can't pay with it at the till, though.
